Janata Dal (United) president Nitish Kumar assumed the role of Bihar Chief Minister for the ninth time on August 10, 2022, just 18 months after leaving the BJP-led NDA. Six ministers and two Deputy CMs from the BJP also took oath. Nitish justified the move as being "in Bihar’s interest," while the BJP asserted it was necessary "for the state's development." Known for political flexibility, Nitish has switched alliances multiple times since 2005, partnering with both BJP and RJD. Despite his unreliable political history, Nitish remains indispensable due to his clean image and the absence of a clear BJP CM face in Bihar.

The central government has posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna to the late Bihar leader Karpoori Thakur during his birth centenary year. Thakur, a prominent backward caste leader, served as Chief Minister twice and played a crucial role in advancing social justice policies, and expanding caste-based reservations in Bihar. Despite facing upper caste resentment for his progressive decisions, such as the 'Karpoori formula,' he left a lasting impact on education and job opportunities for marginalized groups. Thakur's clean and principled life, rooted in Gandhian values, has influenced the politics of social justice in Bihar, making him an enduring inspiration for the marginalized and underscoring the significance of conferring the Bharat Ratna on him.
